TEN EYCK. Originated at So. Plainfield, N. J. The Ten Eyck is the 
thinnest shelled black walnut that we have. The nut is medium to large; 
kernel very full and plump and of very fine quality. 
STAMBAUGH. A few trees of thVvariety in sizes 2 to 3 and 3 to 
4 feet tall. A prize winning nut of the^N\ N. G. A. contest. 
THE NORTHERN PECANS are as hardy as the other hickories and in 
this regard should not be confused with the southern pecan. In a wild or 
natural state, the pecan grows from Terre Haute, Ind., and Clinton, Iowa,

on the north to the Gulf Coast on the south. The tree grows in the river 
bottoms and will succeed on land that is too low ’and damp for most trees. 
Because of this, it was formerly thought that the tree required excessive 
moisture for success, but this was long ago disproven by the thousands of 
trees growing thriftily and bearing well on high and dry locations, and on 
a wide range of soils. The pecan has proven to do well on even light sandy 
soil, if the soil fertility is kept up, as well as on the clay and clay loam soils. 
The varieties we are propagating are from Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Ken¬ 
tucky. The t.ees are perfectly hardy. 
BUTTERICK. From near Grayville, Ill. The old Butterick tree is one 
of the “giants,” and has been bearing beyond the memory of the oldest in¬ 
habitants. The nut is one of the largest of the Indiana group and a real 
paper-shell of excellent quality. The original tree is a heavy and regular 
bearer. The Butterick combines large size with a real paper-shell of high 
quality, and a rapid growing tree that bears very early, and is perhaps the 
best all round pecan of the Indiana group. 
GREENRIVER. Originated in Henderson County, Ky. The nut is 
medium size; shell thin; kernel full and plump and of the best quality. Doing 
very well here. 
INDIANA. From Knox County, Ind. One of the largest of the Indiana 
pecans and one of the best. The nut is thin shelled, full meated and of very 
good quality. The tree is a very heavy bearer. 
POSEY. From Gibson County, Ind. One of the largest and finest pecans 
of this group. The nut is very large and a real paper-shell. The cracking
